In what way does your game fit the theme?
You found a mysterious relic. To embrace its power you must fulfill its wish to venture into the cave. Its behavior is erratic. By delving deeper, you'll gather unwanted attention and engage in a chaotic combat. The relic seems to shift its behavior at a moment's notice, stay alert.
Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes
Loved the overall look and feel. With simple controls it was easy to get into and fun
I really liked the graphics and animations and i got anime vibes so nice!
Super fun game! I love how the main character looks a lil bit like someone from dragon ball. Maybe it's just the eyes though. Thanks for sharing this game :D it looks and plays really nicely. If you could try out our game and rate it I'd really appreciate it too!
Edit: i played the game again, and just like you mentioned on the post, the final wave isn't working too well, i get stuck in an infinite loop of trying to get the dragon to do something but all that happens is i destroy crystals and then rinse and repeat. Hopefully this was solved in v1.1 :D
All this game is telling me is that I need to work on my typing lol. Great concept and super polished execution! I was admittedly confused at first, but that's because I was playing the bugged version, but playing the updated version solved that. Great job getting this done in a week!
Really interesting game. We're very close to get a typing game Roguelite XD !
So far I loved it, too bad this game is not very optimised for Azerty keyboard, making the game harder.
Also I'm not sure if it is normal or not but sometime there were two gems of the same color showing up, so there was a missing color on the relic.
Really cool game, it's very unique and I love the art! It is pretty hard at first but I picked it up after a few tries. I think adding some feedback to show when keys are going to change (ex: shaking the key beforehand, particles when the switch happens) would help a lot as I tended to miss the change when I was looking at the enemies. Overall, really great job!
Thanks thanks! We owe all of the game's look and feel to our art director / illustrator extraordinaire and amazing teammate @Jorge-Flores. If we could change or add a new thing to the game, it would be a clearer way to communicate the relic's changes.
Thanks for playing!
Unique game idea. The art was awesome. The key change mechanics should be more forgiving during the combat period. A small indication before the key change will be nice. Otherwise I really liked the game. Goodjob!
Well done, cool game idea.
I really liked the 'combat' sections, but would have appreciated less punishment for errors. In the later stages, I had a few instances where a key changed right before I pressed it, causing some frustrations because it felt unfair.
The animations and classic style audio were all spot on and gave the game a cool retro feel. I really appreciated it.
Side note - linking to a fixed version of the game during a jam is against the jam rules and may disqualify you from ratings. You're welcome to update after the jam is done, but sharing it during might sway raters and is frowned upon.
Regardless of bugs, you still made a cool game in a week. Be proud of that and update it after the review period.
We're very glad you enjoyed our game! Yes we are aware the game can be very unfair at times, listening to all the feedback I think some type of cue indicating the key change could be very helpful.
Regarding the 'fixed' version of the game we thought it would be a nice addition for anyone who enjoyed the original version, as it pretty much only fixed a particularly hidden bug that made the last encounter unbeatable. We're still new to game jams and we'd seen other submissions do similar things, and didn't think doing something like this would be against the rules, otherwise we would not have done it. We thought (and encourage) that teams will rate our game based solely on the original upload. We're sorry if it wasn't the right thing to do, but again, we didn't know it was something that was frowned upon.
Awesome game!
The art is so good, the concept is innovative, and it was quite fun!
Just in the beginning I couldn't notice that the letters have changed!
Great Job!
Loved the characters and the graphics!
Its a bit hard and the letter change isn't quite noticeable, i think u need to make that stand out a bit more other than that awesome game!
The game is good, the gameplay is there and it's playable.
The letters mechanic was very innovative, still needs some polish, because it can get frustrating real quick.
The game is very hard, even when you get the concept.
The moments when the letters change are not signalled enough, i sometimes push a button only to see the letter's changed.
But the graphics were beautiful, so it would be a very playable typing tutor game.
And it's actually quite devoid of bugs, which is very appreciated, especially for a gamejam game!
Good work!
